My small boy has just given me " a necklace with a medal for Mom" something he bought at a local junk shop with his limited pocket money. Not knowing what it was I simply typed in the motto on the medal to see what it meant. One has to smile, it is a Woodman of the World medal and the "fancy rope" as my son calls it. is someones hair!!!!! I realise now it was a gentlemans watch chain. Is the company American and the watch chain has simply ended up in Australia? Dear Historians, Fancy writing on Christmas Day!

The Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Company is still 'alive and well' and has been since the Woodmen of the World was established in 1890. They were one of the insurance companies that made it thru the depression years without 'folding'. Jim Davenport Just a slight correction to the comment by Glen Moultrie.

They all have Dum Tacet Clamat. I believe that was an insurance company which went belley up and a lot of prople lost precious money. The company was in ill repute from then on.

Perhaps this bit of additional press will help Fairmount to understand that it is in their best interest to coordinate and collaborate with those of us in the general community who care about the welfare of their poorer, dustier, and more historic relation. In any case, Jan and I are hoping to get a meeting of “Friends of Historic Riverside” scheduled in the next few weeks.
